Police investigating the alleged sexual abuse of 10 boys from
Otago say the public have been coming forward to help with
the investigation, in the wake of a public appeal for
information about the activities of a Palmerston man.

Plans to redevelop a 1.2ha section of the Lake Tekapo
waterfront, between the retail centre and the lake edge, this
week drew strong approval from local residents and businesses
at the first of two public workshops.

Central South Island Fish and Game officer Mark Webb said
while there had not been any reported issues with people
fishing for kahawai alongside those fishing for salmon or
trout, inquiries were ''identifying that there may be a
developing problem''.
